THIS AMENDMENT NO. 2 RELATES TO THE SCHEDULE 13D  ORIGINALLY  FILED ON BEHALF OF
THE  REPORTING  PERSONS  WITH THE  COMMISSION  ON OCTOBER 7, 1996 AND AMENDED BY
FILING DATED  NOVEMBER 26, 1996.  THE TEXT OF ITEMS 4 AND 5 OF SAID SCHEDULE 13D
IS AMENDED AS  INDICATED  HEREIN.  ALL  CAPITALIZED  TERMS USED  HEREIN  WITHOUT
DEFINITION SHALL HAVE THE SAME MEANING AS SET FORTH IN SAID SCHEDULE 13D.


ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION

         On February 11, 1997,  the Issuer  announced that it had entered into a
merger  agreement with MEDIQ Inc. In light of the pending merger,  Peak L.P. has
determined  not to take steps to replace the Issuer's Board of Directors at this
time. Peak L.P. intends to continue to review its investment in the Issuer after
the date hereof,  and from time to time,  in light of the  Issuer's  operations,
prospects,  business  development and competitive and strategic  matters.  After
such review,  Peak L.P. and any of the Reporting Persons,  may take other steps,
change their intentions as stated above,  acquire  additional  securities of the
Issuer, or dispose of securities of the Issuer in the open market or pursuant to
private transactions.

         In all other  respects,  the information set forth in Item 4 originally
filed on October 7, 1996 remains unchanged.


ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         (a) The beneficial ownership of each of the Reporting Persons of Common
Stock of the  Issuer has  decreased  as of the date  hereof so that the  current
beneficial ownership of each such Reporting Persons is as follows:

         (i)       Peak L.P. is the beneficial owner of 147,100 shares of Common
                   Stock,  all of which  have  been  acquired  directly  in open
                   market  transactions.  The  total  number of shares of Common
                   Stock beneficially owned by Peak L.P. represents 2.75% of the
                   shares of Common Stock outstanding.

         (ii)      Peak  Management,  Inc. is the beneficial  owner of shares of
                   Common Stock of the Issuer solely as General  Partner of Peak
                   L.P.. Peak Management, Inc. has purchased no shares of Common
                   Stock of the Issuer solely for its own account.  By reason of
                   its   interest  as  General   Partner  of  Peak  L.P.,   Peak
                   Management,  Inc.  may be deemed to have  shared  voting  and
                   dispositive  power over the 147,100  shares (2.75%) of Common
                   Stock of the Issuer beneficially owned by such partnership.

         (iii)     Peter H.  Kamin is the  beneficial  owner of 7,000  shares of
                   Common Stock, including 500 shares of Common Stock over which
                   Mr. Kamin exercises sole voting and dispositive power for the
                   benefit of his son.  All of the 7,000  shares of Common Stock
                   beneficially  owned by Mr.  Kamin were  acquired  directly in
                   open market transactions.  In addition,  Mr. Kamin has voting
                   and/or dispositive power with respect to all shares of Common
                   Stock of the Issuer in the Managed  Accounts  pursuant to the
                   terms  of  certain  investment  advisory  agreements  between
                   himself and each of the Managed Accounts.  Thus, by virtue of
                   his  discretionary  trading authority over assets held in the
                   Managed Accounts, Peter H. Kamin may be deemed the beneficial
                   owner of 91,000  shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by
                   the Managed Accounts,  all of which were acquired directly in
                   open market transactions.

                   In  addition to the above,  by reason of his  position as the
                   sole director,  officer and  stockholder of Peak  Management,
                   Inc.,  which is the sole General Partner of Peak  Investments
                   Limited  Partnership,  Peter H.  Kamin  may be deemed to have
                   indirectly shared voting and dispositive

          -----------                                         -----  ------

                   power over the 147,100  shares of Common  Stock of the Issuer
                   beneficially owned by such partnership. Accordingly, Peter H.
                   Kamin  may be deemed  the  beneficial  owner of an  aggregate
                   245,100 shares  representing  4.5% of the Common Stock of the
                   Issuer outstanding.

         The  number  of  shares   beneficially  owned  and  the  percentage  of
outstanding shares represented thereby, for each of the Reporting Persons,  have
been computed in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.  The percentages of ownership described above are based on the
5,357,218  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock of the  Issuer  reported  in the
Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.

         (b) Peak L.P.  has the sole power to vote or to dispose of or to direct
the  voting or to direct  the  disposition  of the  Common  Stock of the  Issuer
beneficially  owned by it. Such voting and dispositive power may be exercised on
behalf of Peak L.P. by its General Partner,  Peak Management,  Inc. Accordingly,
Peter H. Kamin may be deemed to have shared  voting and  dispositive  power over
147,100  shares of the  Common  Stock of the  Issuer  beneficially  owned by the
Partnership.

         Peter H.  Kamin has the sole  power to vote or to  dispose of the 7,000
shares of Common Stock  beneficially  owned by him. In addition,  Peter H. Kamin
may be deemed to have voting and dispositive power over the 91,000 shares of the
Common Stock  beneficially  owned by the Managed  Accounts.  Pursuant to written
agreements  governing  the  Managed  Accounts,  Mr.  Kamin has sole  voting  and
dispositive power with respect to all of such shares.

         (c) The  following  are all  transactions  in the  class of  Securities
reported on herein  effected by any of the  Reporting  Persons in the past sixty
(60) days:
